Serge Vaudenay Security and Cryptography Laboratory Professor PhD (Paris 7, 1995) nationality: français web site: http://lasecwww.epfl.ch/~vaudenay/ office(s): INF241 phone(s): [+41 21 69] 37696,37603 BIOGRAPHY Serge Vaudenay entered at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in 1989 with a major in mathematics. He earned his agrégation (secondary teaching degree) in mathematics in 1992, then a PhD in Computer Science at the University of Paris 7 - Denis Diderot in 1995. He subsequently became a senior research fellow at the CNRS, prior to being granted his habilitation à diriger des recherches (a postdoctoral degree authorizing the recipient to supervise doctoral students). In 1999, he was appointed as a Professor at the EPFL, where he created the Security and Cryptography Laboratory. CURRENT WORK Cryptographic analysis: security analysis (security proofs, attacks) of cryptographic primitives Lightweight cryptography: design and analysis of cryptographic primitives in constrained environments (stream cipher, key agreement, RFID privacy) Secure communication channels: key agreement, authentication and confidentiality, privacy Serde Vaudenay's research is sponsored by the Swiss National Science Foundation.
